I've been trying out online swaps through Flickr for the first time recently, so I'm in 1 fabric swap, 1 bee and 1 sewn goodie swap. Of these only one of them is finished which is the sewn goodie swap. We were all assigned a secret partner, and you had to send 1 hand sewn goodie, the equivalent of a fat quarter of scraps, and something from your area.
This is what I sent out to my partner:
Some pink scraps
Some cute animal scraps from Peanut's Playtime as well as some matching Kona solids
Some Christmas scraps (this is the Christmas line by Kate Spain from last year)
and some modern scraps
Finally I put in a super special piece which is a very rare Heather Ross fabric
My hand made gift was a small fabric container, made in Far Far Away II by Heather Ross, I think it will be good for collecting scraps and threads while she sews!
Finally, this is what I received back, a truly brilliant fabric container - which I've already used and I love! - a gorgeous matching pin cushion and a beautiful array of scraps tailored just for me! It really was a great swap! Something that I would recommend you all try!

The container is gorgeous and there is a lot of lovely fabric in your photos. The swaps sound like fun. I'm sorry I won't be there to participate in one later this month!
